Had this book at a sleepover, we read it all night and laughed ourselves silly (and even cried for the most serious entries). We're a group of post-college ladies and love this book!

Is bad art sinful?

Date:November 2, 2012

God can use anything, be it a donkey or a Jon, a Keith Green, an Adrian Plass, or a Frankie Schaeffer to reach people with a particular message. A book or a bumper sticker, a fish or a FROG, a verse on your bathroom wall - each can be an inspiration or merely a decoration. Any Fashion-statement in any culture or sub-culture certainly can be trite and embarrassing when badly executed! But don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Words are powerful. That's why Jon writes -and George and Ravi and Phil and Stormie - and thank God for publishers - their superfluous mediocrity aside - Jon would be self-publishing if it weren't for Zondervan's good bad & ugly 'stuff'! Let's try to raise the bar but watch our attitudes, eh? It's a short distance from humour to smug superiority.

Stuff Christians Like is exceptional! I was reading it on a plane and had to stop myself from laughing out loud several times! The book is inspiring and hilarious! I've already given a copy to a friend and encourage you to do the same!

Very enjoyable book.

The book ranges from silly to profound, and everything in between. It pokes gentle fun at some of our foibles, makes us laugh at ourselves while teaching little lessons, and reminds us who we are and Whose we are.

I picked up this book on a whim and read through pretty sure the whole book in a couple of days. My friends have stolen it and passed it around. Everyone loved it! God created the sense of humor and has given us the ability to laugh at ourselves!

Amazing book!

Date:August 3, 2011

I ordered this on my Kindle, and I was laughing at almost every other sentence. I love how you approach every topic about God and it's light-hearted and funny but you also make some great points on the Papa. Only one thing... for your pictures, when you're talking about Christian businesses having the Jesus fish on their business cards, you had a little illustration that said "Andy's Aquarium" with a bunch of fish and a Jesus fish, and then there was an actual telephone number. I was bored so I actually called it, just to see if it was like a SCL hotline or an acutal aquarium store or something, but it was a house in Wyoming. And when someone actually answered I hung up because I was scared. Now they won't stop calling me... Anyways, funny book.:)

First off, let me start by saying that this book was one of those purchases that was worth it. When I was reading it, I had those "aha!" moments where I could relate to what was being said. It was great, and I look forward to reading many more of Jonathan Acuff's books. :)

I started ready Jon's blog and thought I would enjoy this book. I only got a little way into it, put in down one night on the footstool. My husband picked it up that night and has not been able to put it down since. He is telling me that I need to read story or that one but he won't let me read it because he loves it so much. I love that what Jon writes is so much how us and others around us think and say about all of the subjects listed in the book. Well Done!!!!!

Let me start by saying that my wife and I laughed out loud at nearly every essay. If laughter is the best medicine, this book could heal a marriage, a small group, a church, or at least break down some walls amongst us serious Christians and allow us to laughingly say, "we do that, HA!".

Sometimes Christians find the wonderful saving grace of Jesus they lose their sense of humor. Maybe this is in an effort to purify themselves from dirty or worldly humor that's pretty pervasive in media, or it's because we are indoctrinated into some humorless or at best satirically challenged churches, we lose our funny bone. We surgically remove our funny bone and stitch ourselves up with the "that's inappropriate" needle. (I probably went to far there).The beauty of Christianity is that, if we are living it right, we have built in humility so it is wonderfully appropriate to poke fun at ourselves. This is the best comedy anyway, you don't feel bad about laughing at others. I wondered about a few of my "serious" Christian friends as I read this book and if they'd be offended or "hurt" that someone pointed out that they are living a stereotype. So I bought 10 copies and book marked their page. HA. I did buy 10 copies (Dave Ramsey's site had the best deal) but I didn't mark the page... they'll find it themselves and we can laugh together later.My wife and I read about 5 essays before bed and I found myself sneaking peeks at free moments; I finished the book in a week.

Some books have found me at the perfect times in life, just like certain scriptures, and I hesitate to recommend them to others - who says they are experiencing the same thing as me. Stuff Christians Like is different - everyone needs a good laugh we could all take ourselves less seriously. John Acuff's really good at leading the way.

Date:December 28, 2010

Jon Acuff puts into light many Christian quirks and faults with honest humor. I was in no way offended by the many offenses I was guilty of in the book, but rather able to breathe a sigh of relief (and laughter) and the commonality amongst many Christians.I am sending the book to our church's college pastor in hopes that it will also delight him and the audience that will listen to his sermons.Highly recommended reading for anyone.Contains short essays, so the reader does not have to be burdened with long reading sessions.

Why

Date:November 28, 2010

You may ask yourself: "Why am I here, what does the future hold for me, who will I marry, will I ever amount to anything, or as my father told me, I'll never amount to anything" All these are great questions, and this book address none of them. It makes you forget all that boring stuff and concentrate on the important stuff, like why does our pastor always preach about the money stuff when I bring a visitor. Great stuff, like that. It is good to see a book finally talk about the important stuff.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jon a few weeks ago, and he did not disappoint. He's just a normal dude that grew up around the church and he has a funny/twisted insight on the crazy things Christians do. I picked up the book at an event this weekend that he spoke at, what a treat. I had a lot of trouble putting it down once I started reading it. I laughed out loud numerous times.Now my wife has it and won't put it down. I know what everyone is getting from me for Christmas. Thanks Jon. I can't wait to get Gazelles!

My daughter, age 21, was sitting with my husband and I outside by the fire reading to us from the blog, and purchased this book the next day. We have laughed so hard, but also realized we shouldn't take ourselves so serious and, yes, God does havea sense of humor.Can't wait for "Stuff Old Christians Like", "Stuff Bald-headed Christians Like", "The Stuff Christians Like Desk Calendar" and the "Stuff Christians Like" Journal, Devotional and t-shirt.
